We thought this was a pretty cool place. It was relaxing; the atmosphere was fairly low key, which is a nice change of pace in Chicago. The wine flights were reasonably priced and had a nice selection of interesting wines.

Even though this restaurant is expensive, the food here is pretty good. Is it my favorite? No. But I would recommend the Chicken or Steak as both shared plates were solid. Also loved the mashed potatoes.

It was $60 per person and was 5 courses. $12 for each course is not a bad deal at all!

I agree with Michael Z. Send a note to the restaurant. TripAdvisor won't let me post their email hyperlink, but it's info at their domain name...who knew!) Can't say enough about Bin36.
